The area was very beautiful. Everything closes early. The area in Ettal was beautiful, but in the restaurants, the staff seem like they have a problem with you being there. Very unhappy people and very rude! We went to a restaurant across from Hotel Wittelsbach. Frank, our waiter was the only redeeming person, as far as wait staff are concerned. When we 1st walked into the restaurant, our waiter walked away when we were tring to decode. He never came back. These ate some of the rudest people I've ever met. Such a beautiful area, but the people make one not want to come back. I've been all over the world, these people top the ultimate in rudeness!
Stephanie at the hotel was fine. Overall, 2 people were somewhat kind, or at least, decent over three days. We are on our way to Venice. Perhaps Venetians will be a bit happier. Or at least smile and act happy to see you.
